Manchester City have sealed a major January transfer after reaching a full agreement with Bournemouth for the signing of Antoine Semenyo. The deal, worth £65 million, has been completed after documents were exchanged and approved, with the Ghana international set to join Pep Guardiola’s side on a long-term contract.
The transfer is now confirmed, with Semenyo choosing City ahead of four other Premier League clubs after being convinced by Guardiola’s project and tactical vision.
Deal Details at a Glance
- Player: Antoine Semenyo
- From: AFC Bournemouth
- To: Manchester City
- Transfer Fee: £65 million
- Contract: Long-term deal
- Medical: Scheduled for Thursday
- Payment Deadline: January 10
City will complete the financial settlement by January 10, allowing Semenyo to be fully registered for the second half of the season.
Why Manchester City Won the Race
Despite heavy interest from four top Premier League sides, Semenyo made Manchester City his priority well before Christmas. The decisive factor was the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the most influential managers in modern football.
Guardiola reportedly views Semenyo as a versatile attacking option capable of operating across the front line — on either wing or through the middle — fitting perfectly into City’s fluid attacking system.
Semenyo’s Rise at Bournemouth
Semenyo has been one of Bournemouth’s standout performers, combining pace, power, and direct attacking play. His ability to beat defenders one-on-one, press aggressively, and contribute goals made him a prime January target for elite clubs.
At Bournemouth, he developed into a consistent Premier League attacker, earning plaudits for his work rate and tactical discipline — qualities Guardiola highly values.
When Will Semenyo Play for City?
The Ghanaian forward is expected to feature against Tottenham Hotspur before undergoing his medical tests on Thursday. Once completed, he will be officially unveiled as a Manchester City player.
This timing ensures City can integrate him quickly as they push on multiple fronts domestically and in Europe.
What Semenyo Brings to Manchester City
- Explosive pace and physicality
- Tactical flexibility across the attack
- High pressing intensity
- Proven Premier League experience
- Strong mentality and work ethic
His profile adds depth and variation to City’s already formidable squad, particularly during a congested fixture schedule.
Final Word
Manchester City’s capture of Antoine Semenyo represents a statement January signing. At £65m, City have invested in a Premier League-proven attacker entering his prime, while Semenyo earns the biggest move of his career under one of football’s greatest managers.
